Spear & Jackson Planting Spade

This spade is specifically designed for precision work in garden beds and borders. Its pointed, compact blade is easier to maneuver in tight spaces, and the integrated depth markings allow you to plant bulbs and perennials at the exact depth they need to thrive.

Yes, the serrated edge is a significant advantage when working in established garden beds. It allows you to slice through small, stubborn roots without having to stop and grab a separate saw or pruner.

The mirror-polished finish is excellent for this purpose. It resists rust and prevents soil from sticking, so a quick wipe-down after use is usually all that is needed to keep it in good condition.

The spade features a treaded blade, which provides a stable, comfortable surface for your foot when you need to apply extra pressure. Combined with the ergonomic YD wishbone handle, it is built to reduce strain during repetitive planting tasks.

The handle is crafted from weatherproofed ash wood and secured with a double-riveted socket. This construction balances the natural strength and shock-absorption of wood with the structural reinforcement needed for heavy-duty gardening.
